This is the Institut de Touraine. This is the main building with the library, media library, labs, classrooms, etc. There are two other buildings; I have one class in each of the other two buildings also.

This is looking down one of the streets on one side of the Institute. The French flags in the picture are hanging on the side of one of the buildings.

This is the courtyard directly behind the main building. Most people enter the building this way, and lots of people buy lunch in sandwich shops and eat it here. The Italian in our class said that was “very American,” and when I looked around the next day at lunch after he’d said that, it was true – only Americans who’d bought lunch and returned to school to eat it!

If you’re interested in reading more about the institute, here’s a link to the site:

If it doesn't open in English, click on the British flag to change the text to English.

I don't have time to write much today because I'm supposed to be working on my paper. I hope you have a great day today.

Jacob arrives in Tours one week from today!
